In the same way the Single Layer Ceramic Capacitor (SLCC or just SLC) consists of one dielectric layer. The ceramic is covered with an adhesive layer of, for example, chrome nickel as a base for copper electrodes. On the electrodes leads are soldered as shown in the principle Figure C2-69, before the component is encapsulated in lacquer or epoxy.
The most common design of a ceramic capacitor is the multi layer construction where the capacitor elements are stacked as shown in Figure C2-70, so called MLCC (Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitor). The number of layers has to be limited for reasons of the manufacturing technique. The upper limit amounts at present to over 1000.
The manufacturing of traditional single layer capacitors begins with a fired ceramic substrate with a typical thickness of 0.005". The ceramic substrates use various dielectric formulations, depending on the type of capacitor that is being constructed. Next, both surfaces of the fired substrate are metallized by either a thick or thin film process.
Ceramic capacitors also come either in chip or dish construction and have very small values of the order of Pico or nano Farads (unit for measurement of capacitance). In a dish type construction, we have two small circular dishes which form the electrodes and ceramic is used as the filler between the two electrodes.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors are usable over a wide range of frequencies. By altering the dielectric composition, we can make these capacitors with the least variation in capacitance over a wide range of temperature changes. Such capacitors are called temperature compensated type.
The working voltage of a capacitor has to be less than its rated voltage. In the case of a ceramic capacitor, the voltage can be between a few volts to a few kilovolts. However, the capacitor can be tailored for higher and lower voltages. Thus, ceramic capacitors having a wide range of applicability and have a great scope for further development.

SLC is the most basic type of capacitor, which has only one dielectric material or insulating layer between the positive and negative electrodes. MLCC is based on the basic principle of SLC design, and multi-layer electrodes are layered and embedded in the dielectric of a single capacitor.

Ceramic Capacitor: Working, Construction and Applications
Different types of ceramic capacitors exist, such as multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), which have multiple layers of ceramic and metal to increase their capacitance, and disk ceramic capacitors. As a result of these devices, voltage fluctuations in electronic circuits are smoothed, signals are filtered, and energy is stored.
